[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you. We are in a school where highest math is geometry. What is the path for acceleration at Tj?  
We have already done 2 years of Spanish. Non Hispanic family. If we switch to German does it go against the 4 years of language requirement most colleges have? [/quote]
The Geometry and prior to that Algebra 1 taught in middle school are often quite shallow, and that level of learning and practice would likely earn only a C at TJ. To succeed, student should put in genuine effort by completing all homework and extra practice problems and if needed use the 8th period support and teacher office hours to fully understand the concepts in-depth.

Thanks to the new principal Mr Mukai, the math pathway is now more streamlined. In your student's situation, the most practical acceleration would be to take Precalculus BC in sophomore year, followed by Calculus BC in junior year, and Multivariable Calculus in senior year.

As for world language, it’s ultimately your student's choice. Yes, they can switch to German and complete four credits, including AP German in senior year, or just retake TJ spanish 2 and finish with AP level.  [/quote]

Thank you so much. Why should they retake spanish 2? wouldnt they just take spanish 3 and finish off spanish 4 by sophomore? [/quote]
